<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 258608, member: 68&quot;]I think the cent and dime are vastly underrated.&nbsp; These may not be workhorse coins like they were long ago but they are still made every year and at least the dime still serves a function.&nbsp; There is a vast array of cents in circulation and the dimes can be pretty tough in nice shape.&nbsp; The varieties of all these coins are also underrated and undercollected.&nbsp; The &#039;68 DDO dime, for instance, is common enough it could be promoted but scarce enough to be interesting.&nbsp; It&#039;s rarely seen offerred but they are out there and even appears&nbsp; in the mint sets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I should pay more attention to the cent varieties but I collect only the major ones of these from 1965 to date.&nbsp; One of these days I&#039;ll probably go through my rolls and extend the set back to 1959.&nbsp; I collect the dimes from 1965 too, and have put a lot more effort in these.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got the entire set with varieties in gem or better!!&nbsp; Many of them are quite PL and mark-free.&nbsp; The one cent coins are pretty spectacular too, but is probably improvable without extreme cost or effort.&nbsp; A lot of people would be surprised to see the mid-date&nbsp; zincolns.&nbsp; Many of these look like branch mint proofs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually I&#039;ll probably add the proofs to these sets too, but will wait until the series are retired at least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
